“Congratulations to Geert Wilders who has won the 2023 General Election in the Netherlands to become the new Dutch Prime Minister,” wrote one Facebook Page (archived). Other Facebook posts (archived) said Wilders was “elected Prime Minister”, which, as of Nov. 28, is not the case. Wilders won the most seats for his Freedom Party (PVV) in the Nov. 22 election and now seeks to form a government with himself as leader. Dutch coalition talks usually take months and parties’ positions and willingness to work with each other can evolve over time, Reuters reported. Dutch far-right politician Geert Wilders won the most seats in the Nov. 22 election but must first form a coalition, which could take months, to be prime minister.

The swift departure of Gom van Strien, appointed on Friday by Wilders, underlines the difficulties ahead for coalition talks as Wilders seeks to form a government with himself as prime minister. "Therefore I have informed Geert Wilders and the chairwoman of parliament I will lay down my work as scout immediately," he said in a statement. Wilders' PVV booked major gains in the Nov. 22 election. Van Strien had been due to meet with VVD leader Dilan Yesilgoz on Monday. Newspaper NRC Handelsblad first reported on Saturday that Van Strien was sued in March by a subsidiary of Utrecht University over alleged fraud.

[1/6] Dutch parties' lead candidates meet for the first time after elections, in which far-right politician Geert Wilders booked major gains, to begin coalition talks in The Hague, Netherlands, November 24, 2023. In a foretaste of how difficult coalition building talks may prove after Wednesday's election, outgoing Prime Minister Mark Rutte's conservative VVD Party on Friday ruled out joining a cabinet led by Wilders' Freedom Party (PVV). Wilders' election win led to protests in several cities. Wilders named Gom van Strien, a member of his own party in the Dutch Senate, as scout. Should Wilders' efforts eventually fail, other parties could try to build a more centrist coalition without him.
